Overgeared

The collapsed ground swallowed the sea of green which used to be the forest. The giant trees, that reached all the way to the sky, tilted precariously.

A long time ago when Grid visited this place with Zik and Zibal, the scenery at the entrance of the Hwan Kingdom had overwhelmed him. It now looked completely devastated. Judging from the scale of the damage, it was almost certain that the Hwan Kingdom wouldn’t escape unscathed from this fight. This had to be the case. Why else had Hanul rushed over here then?

However, Hanul appeared unbothered. He sneered at Grid without giving off the slightest hint of agitation.

[The pressure you are giving off is unusual. Do you think this is an opportunity for you to kill us?]

Just then, Chiyou’s eyes returned to normal. He stopped emitting a white light and his pupils were back to their original state. Those pitch-black eyes of his contained desire and joy.

Noe had been poking his head out of Grid’s arms to examine the situation. “D-Don’t tell me, this guy... Did he pretend to be insane to lure Master here?” he asked thoughtfully.

It was a reasonable doubt, but Grid firmly shook his head.

“There is no way that those who live on pride would act like fools.”

Grid could operate as virtually two different people thanks to the Consciousness Separation skill. The skill divided his consciousness into two. It was still at level 1, but it was very useful. Because of it, Grid could assess the clone’s situation in real time. He had witnessed every moment of Hanul and Chiyou’s fight and he knew that Chiyou had not put on an act.

Of course, doing so mentally exhausted him. Switching back and forth between the two consciousnesses required a great deal of concentration. Had there not been a function that granted autonomy to his clone, Grid wouldn’t have been able to fully utilize the Consciousness Separation skill.

In any case, Grid was aware that Hanul wasn’t in good shape.

[Are you serious...? You are here to settle things with us by yourself? So ridiculous. Can you really handle both of us?]

Hanul was bluffing, pretending he was fine with this turn of events. Grid wasn’t deceived by his acting skills.

“What do you mean by the two of you? I don’t think Chiyou will team up with you so we can fight two versus one.”

Grid had long defined Chiyou as a lunatic. Therefore, he didn’t respect Chiyou. Chiyou teaming up with Hanul to kill Grid? No way.

Ironically, the one whom the madman valued the most was Grid. He didn’t want Grid to die. Because of this, it was Grid, not Hanul, who had the numerical advantage.

Grid wasn’t actually isolated behind enemy lines. Together with his clone, he had surrounded the enemy. This had been his plan from the very beginning.

“Thanks to the immortal earlier, the Hwan Kingdom has suffered quite a lot of damage... Did I miscalculate when I decided this was the best moment to try and hurt you?”

More and more mirrors appeared, surrounding Hanul. Before he knew it, there were hundreds of them, and would soon become thousands. This was easy to pull off because the spell required ice magic. They weren’t that durable, that was their weakness, but they reflected light. This clearly restricted Hanul’s actions.

Hanul stared at Grid silently. The light withdrew and he revealed his true appearance.

He looked like King Sobyeol after King Sobyeol grew older and larger in size. Hanul’s white hair was tightly combed into a bun and there were deep wrinkles all over his face. However, the wrinkles didn’t make him look ugly. They made his eyes look wiser, and the lines around his mouth made him look mightier. He was standing with his back straight, and had a thick waist, a broad chest, and wide shoulders.

Hanul’s appearance resembled the one described in the myths. He gave off the impression of a ruler. Anyone could see that he had been born to rule and deserved to be worshiped as a god.
